Shortly after the skit begins, Trump is greeted by "Steve Bannon," a figure dressed as Death himself, acting as Trump's chief strategist.

After picking up his phone and calling prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, the conversation quickly turns to mock the real-life phone call the two had earlier this week, discussing the refugee deal made between Australia and the United States.

"Thank you for still accepting our refugees," says Turnbull, before Trump responds perplexed.

"President Obama said America would accept 1200 refugees... Your country's compassion will not be forgotten.
